I kept putting o...Thanks for the kind words, folks. I kept putting off writing this post because I knew it would be a long one, but it was great fun using the various typewriters. The '46 Smith-Corona Sterling is bullet-proof. <br /><br />@ machinengeschreiben, thank-you. I'm glad you liked the scans. They were beginning to get complicated.<br /><br />@ I dream lo-tech, I WISH I were Spiderman! My favorite Marvel hero. Gwen Stacey and Mary-Jane looked really cool in the comics that I read in the mid '70s. <br /><br />@ Ted, yes I have to say that we experienced no major mishaps or illness on this trip. And I felt very safe in Bangkok. <br /><br />@ Richard, thanks for taking the time to stop by. I'd forgotten that NaNoWriMo was underway.<br /><br />@ Dwayne F, thanks buddy. I had to Google what the hell a meezer and applehead were. And don't you worry about Madame Furball (this cat's got SO many names), I'm thinking of giving her a regular column here. If you want to read her shocking true story, I wrote about her here in June. The Gods smiled down on me the day she arrived. The pest!<br /><br />@ Rob, Oh man, don't do this to me. I'm a sucker for unsung heroes. And I live in the council of Kingston (who would've guessed?). <br /><br />@ Adwoa, yes, the letterheads just looked so...'pleasant'. <br />The snakes, well...there's another photo of my wife sitting in a cage with a nest of pythons piled on top of each other. The cage was about as wide as your average dining table. I always knew she was crazy for marrying me, but now...<br />The peanuts were salted, too, but monkey scoffed them down without stopping. If I were better prepared, I would have poured him a beer to go with them. But he looked like he was in a hurry.teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-24580516735709489672011-11-04T01:54:27.052-07:002011-11-04T01:54:27.052-07:00Epic post!

Beautifully-photographed typecasts, as usual, and that letterhead is very nice too. <br /><br />As you can see, quite a few of us read through to the end. The scenery looks wonderful, sounds like you chose the perfect resort. <br /><br />That snake bite photo is not pretty; I never want to be in striking distance of one of those things. <br /><br />So monkeys really do like peanuts... *stores away for future reference*.<br /><br />Traffic in Bangkok looks rather modest compared to Accra... however those skywalks are pretty nifty! Great idea.Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-15385362649626310942011-11-03T18:09:34.273-07:002011-11-03T18:09:34.273-07:00Phew!

Pen and paper isso much less intrusive on the experience yo are supposed to be having - especially those you were sharing it with. And like you say, you got the best of both worlds when you gave your typewriters a workout back home. I'm begging you, on behalf of the unsung heroes of Kingston upon Hull, keep the Imperial.Rob Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065940710708289511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-74279350680302304952011-11-02T21:10:35.381-07:002011-11-02T21:10:35.381-07:00Great travelogue!

Believe it or not, your handwriting is more legible than mine.<br /><br />I've read portions, skimmed some and will go back and read more. What a great family vacation.<br /><br />One last thing: we envy your meezer, and an applehead at that.Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-40762917725630033852011-11-02T08:11:35.205-07:002011-11-02T08:11:35.205-07:00Since I'm immersed in NaNoWriMo along with eve...Since I'm immersed in NaNoWriMo along with everything that usually fills my day, I haven't had the time to read all the typecasts, but much enjoyed looking at them and the photos. I lived in Thailand for a few months in 1990 and these images bring back many memories.

Sad that you didn't find a nifty writing machine there, but you sure brought back some great memories and a fine stack of attractive Centara Grand Hotel letterheads (:Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-37274431547243462462011-11-02T06:38:48.775-07:002011-11-02T06:38:48.775-07:00Great travelogue, Teeritz!

Thanks for sharing your Thai adventure with us.<br /><br />Glad you're not in Bangkok now, you would have needed an amphibious tuk-tuk and a waterproof Skine. Some of your pics brought back Bangkok memories. And looking at those cool Krabi pics, I'm having beach envy! <br /><br />Faux Liechtenstein, yay. Looks awesome.<br /><br />By the way, it just dawned on me that with an alias like Teeritz and surreptitious pics featuring your back, your nape, and your feet, you could actually be Spiderman. C'mon, do a reveal of your secret identity at least once.

Looks like you had a great trip. Some neighbours of ours are heading back to live in Thailand - I can see the appeal. I'll come back later and READ everything. Another great looking post.
